after football

Now after football season is over, I had a lot more free time to finish all of my assignments that I need to finish for all my classes here at Texas Lutheran University. Football took up so much of my time that i barely had any time to do all my classwork and spend mostly all of my weekend trying to finish all my blogs and papers that are due. I miss football and wish I was still being out there playing football with my friends, but now i got to put my attention to my classwork and passing the semester with good grades because that why I came to college for. I came to college is to get a degree and be successful in my life. That is what my mom want me to do. Football is a bonus, but I wont be playing football for the rest of my life and I can have an education for the rest of my life. Nobody can take my education away from me and people with good paying jobs usuaully have a college education and that's what I want to accomplish in my life. My mom wants me to get a degree and that's what im going to do. Football is one reason why I came here to Texas Lutheran University to go to school at. Football helped me make alot of decisions in my life. If it wasnt for football, I wouldn't be the person i am today because football taught me so many life lessons. Football is also a place where I can get away from the stress of life and schoolwork. When I'm on the feild, I get rid of all emotion and just play the game I love to play. I taught myself how to play football. It was a challange, but I learn how to play and was one of the best kids in my grade. Everybody wanted me to be on their team when we play football. I miss my high school football days and the town coming to watch us play. I miss edna football and miss i had one more year. football is a big part of my life and would never change.

sports

You got to really want to play sports in college to be able to be successful in college. College is very hard to manage your time between schoolwork, having fun, and sports. There was a few time where I was late or didnt turn in work because I didnt have time or was behind on my other work. Sometimes I wonder is doing sports and schoolwork will be good for me in the long run to finish my college degree if I keep getting behind in my work. It is kinda hard jogging school and other activities while you in college. I love playing football and i want to keep playing it but everyday in each classroom, the teacher always got to give us sometime to do the next day and it don't be a little assignment but it a assignment that will take me some time to complete. I tried getting advice on what to do about the situation, but some are not helpful and the others I dont know if I should do that. Some athletes have to quit to get more time in their school. My friend from this college quit football to get more time to complete all of his work. His grade has improve a bunch and he completes all of his classwork. He gave me advice on what to do and he told me to do what best for me. Right now, I dont know what will be best for me. I love football but i know I wont be going pro so I better off with a degree and being able to support my family. Being a successful person is what I want to be in my life and football is slowly me down from getting my degree. Football is taking up so much of my time and im not the type of person of staying up late to finish my work. People stay up but not to do work. My whole day consist of doing work and the only time I got off is that is during the weekends and mondays, but i usually have games on the weekend so i got to put all my work on mondays and that suppose to be an off day for school. I going to keep during football and schoolwork and see if I can keep up with my work. Football is what i love to do and imm going to try my best to keep football and schoolwork manage and so i can be successful in both of those things.

fall break

After all the school we been through, we finally get a break from all the schoolwork and it was a much needed break. I look forward in breaks during school because I need a break and this break was one I needed. For the past few months, we had school and schoolwork and no time for ourself. We spend so much time doing work that are due for or classes or reading a text book for teachers and not even understanding what the textbook even telling us. Everybody needs a break every once in awhile to refresh your brain to get back the energy that your body parts, even your brain, needs to get a break from learning and to have a good time sometimes to get away from all the pressure school work brings to you. Fall break was what I needed. I need some time to go home and spend time with my family and to have a good time with all my friends and family. They are what I need right now and a break from football for awhile. Classwork is not what this weekend is going to be about. This weekend is going to be about having a good time, relaxing, hanging out with friends, and getting alot of much needed sleep. Now I wish that the next break would hurry up and come along so I can do it all again. Breaks are what I look forward to and hope the break wouuld hurry up and come again. Every student in any school loves to have breaks from school so they could have time to themselves and friends and maybe go home to see their familys that the students miss so much because i miss my family. Schoolwork takes a toll on you and everybody needs to get away from something and I need to get away from all the schoolwork that I been doing for the past two months.

school

School is going how i expected it would go. The classes are not that hard as i thought they would be and im actually doing good in all my classes. College is just you want to succeed in your life. College is not for all people and at first I thought college wasn't for me. I wasn't sure if college wasn't for me and was afraid that I wasn't going to succeed in my first year. College classes wasn't how I expect it would be either. I knew it was going to harder but it wasn't as hard as I expected. Doing your schoolwork is all you had to do and you won't have any excuse why you shouldn't pass your classes. PLus, you can always get help from your teacher or tudors. If you don't know the class or the work in it, the teachers at the school will help you succeed to help pass college and help you get a better life for you and your family and that what you always wanted your life to be like. Being succussful is what I want to be when I grow up. you have to manage your time and do all your work to pass your classes. Getting advice from upperclassmen is a good way to help you get a clue was what going to happen to you. Getting advice about what college is going to be like and how to manage your time and what classes you should take to get your degree plan is a great way to go. If you know what you going to have to do and get a headstart os it, you won't have a bad start and will ignore college. Being a business major, I don't know what the classes I have to take and im getting advice advice about what classes to take and im getting a headstart to where I need to do in my college degree. It help me know what classes I should take and the teachers that teach it the best. This information will help me get through my college future more easier. All I want is a good future for me and my family because that all i want is to be able to support my family. Who doesn't want to be able to support your family and have a well paying job and have no care in the world. My family is the thing I care about and I want them to be well taken care of and that all I want them to be and they lives taking care of.

school

College work isn't as hard as I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be work I couldn't understand, but I was wrong about college. The work is understandable and if you take your time to understand and listen to the teacher, you will understand. It really like being in high school again. In high school, I never had this much homework before. I had more homework the first week of school then I had all of high school. That was the only difficult part was doing my homework. I usually do my homework doing school because my teachers give us time during the class period or the teacher doesn't want us doing it at home. The teacher want you to be where if you need help that he or she was close to you. It was hard at first managing time to do my homework, but you get used to it after awhile. I usually go home and do nothing because I usually do it doing school. I never had to use to internet to do any assignment that was due doing school. This is my first experience about using the computer to do homework assignments or using it to talk to my teachers and getting help with my assignments. It was hard trying to found the assignments on the internet and I thought I wasn't going to make it at first. It took me some time to get the hang of it, but I got used to it after awhile. After getting used to it, i think it easier to get my assignments done and the teachers can't lose your papers and you will be able to keep up with your assignments. It also a way to get all your handouts you need and an easy way to keep you connect with the school and your teachers. Your teachers will talk to you through email and it is really easy to get all your work done. I wished our school would of thought of this when i was in high school. Our high school didn't use technology like we here at Texas Lutheran University. Mostly all my assignments has to do something you have to do over the internet and it is way easier than trying to found paper and you probably will lose your assignment to while you can save it and it will always be on your computer.

tlu

Texas Lutheran University is a good college to go to where you want to learn in a small classroom and teaches that actually want to get to know you and help you get an education that you dream of getting. Texas Lutheran University is a small college that gives you up and close teaching from excellent teachers and everybody in the school knows each other. It is easy to make friends here and to get to know alot more people and make new friends. I never thought i would be going to Texas Lutheran University when I was in High School back in Edna Texas. I never heard of this college. I really wanted to go to UTSA because they was recruiting me to play football and I wanted a chance to go play at a big time university. I knew that I wanted to play football their ,but things didnt work out that i thought wouldn't of happen. Next time in my mind was to go to UHV to get my education. It was close to my town and that was i was about to ,but then Texas Lutheran came and offer me to play football for them. i really wanted to play football so i look into it. I knew god gave me these talents to play football to help me found a way to get a college education to help support me and my family in my up coming years. Football taught me alot of tough lessons and i wanted to make my mom pound of me. I ended up coming to Texas Lutheran Unviversity was when they wanted me to play football for them. The first time i heard of their name, I was like who are they. I took a campus tour on my visit and i like what i saw. I decided to come here and to get a education and play football. College is all about managing your time because everyday you have something to do. The first week, I as behind and I thought doing both football and schoolwork was going to be hard to do. Sometimes i wonder if college really for me or should I had with to UHV instead of going here. those questions still run through my mind once in awhile. For now, Im at Texas Lutheran University to get a degree in business and that what im going to do and make my family pound.

study hall

College is not as hard as i thought it was going to be. The only thing I can get is all the homework the teachers give us everyday we go to their classroom. I havent had a day where I went to my room and doesnt have to do any homework. It was alot on my load ,and I didnt know what or how Im going to deal with all this homework my first year. I am a person who wait until the last moment to start my homework assignments and I can get distracted very easy. The coaches told us that we had mandatory study hall for all first year students and tranfers. I thought it was a study idea and, i didnt want to go. I rather thought being in my room and being on my phone would be the better than to do instead of going to study hall for an hour. my place dont even get service in the moody where we have study hall at. I felt like a hour and a half without my phone would kill me inside. The first day, the time felt like it was going so slow to me and it had only been ten minutes i have been in there. In my mind, I thought i couldnt do it and then i said "i might as well do my homework while im in this horrible place" and that was the best idea i had in a good while. My coach was there if i had any questions about my work and i was around people in my classes and we work on our projects and homework together. Time goes by fast when you doing your homework. It a quiet place to study, nobody will bother you with their loud music, and you have people and coaches around to insist you with any problems you dont know. It really did improve my grades and my ability to understand the work that was given to me by my teachers. It hard not being on my phone ,but being there made me put it away and put my total mind on my work instead of texting and doing other stuff that i shouldnt be doing like playing my xbox or being on the phone and not doing my work. College is not as different from high school. It just means you got to manage your time and get your work turn in. You also have to understand your work or you wont be able to use it for your major or life. Study hall really did help me to get all my work done, but it a pain in the butt because i miss half of a football game and i never miss football game :(
